pete's dragon

Pete's Dragon (first released on November 3, 1977) is a musical film from The Walt Disney Company. It is about a young boy named Pete (played by Sean Marshall) who enters a small fishing community in Maine in the early 20th century. His only friend is a green cartoon dragon named Elliott (voiced by Charlie Callas and animated by Don Bluth), who also acts as his sentinel. Only Pete can see and communicate with Elliot, which occasionally lands Pete in trouble with the locals. Also featured in the film are Helen Reddy, Mickey Rooney, Jim Dale, Red Buttons, and Shelley Winters. The film was directed by Don Chaffey, and the songs are by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn. The song "Candle on the Water" received an Academy Award nomination, and Helen Reddy's recording (with a different arrangement than the one her character sings in the film) was released as a single by Capitol Records, reaching #27 on the Adult Contemporary charts.

Trivia

Perhaps because they have their own character Pete, a dinosaur similar in appearance to Elliott appeared in the Disney children's television series Goof Troop, episode "Great Egg-Spectations".
